As part of the Asia Society’s continuing efforts to educate the public about the world around them, they have created this website which is meant to “put the world into world-class education.” To accomplish this goal in the United States they are primarily interested in developing resources that will help Americans learn more about the geography, history, culture, and languages of other regions around the world. First-time visitors will appreciate the visual legibility of the homepage, and they can move around to sections that are designed to provide them with information about the world of international studies. There are a number of concrete, hands-on activities for young people and educators available in the “Network “section of the site. Here, visitors can learn about upcoming pedagogical workshops, browse the online library of lessons plans, and also partake in a discussion forum for fellow international-studies aficionados.
